i managed to install the modem and made a connection
through kppp or somthenig like that and setup all the
DNS and the things necesery by my ISP to connect but
when i try connecting through that connection ,
modem dials the number, connects but there is no
transfer going through the line :(( no page can be
loaded in browser ... no ping no nothing .. .dead ??
what can this be ....

yes the linux is redhat8 and modem is external one
so there should be trouble with it, i mean i connected
and everything looks fine ??!??! is there something
else that i should configure in some linux configuration
or ???

sorry but i'm new in this one ...

thanks

You should verify the routing table is correctly configured.

% route

Should display a couple lines as shown below although your entries may be
different.

If the line with 10.0.0.1 (or whatever address your local router has been
configured) is missing, type the following at a command prompt (as root).

route add -net default gw 10.0.0.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 0

Then ping a hodt such as [url]www.flash.net[/url] to determine whether the DNS and
routing are properly configured.
